Today, I turned on my machine from sleep mode but the display had a strongish purple/pink tint too it. When I heard the fans come on, everything sounded fine at first but suddenly, I heard a really loud fan sound that wouldn't stop, as if the fans were at 100% speed. I'm guessing this is the GPU. I panicked and turned off the desktop. Tried turning it on again sometime later, but still the same.

My specs are:
Windows 7 64-Bit
Intel i5 4570
4GB 1333Mhz RAM
R9 280X Powercolor

I've not messed about with GPU or Bios settings. Apart from updates to game, not installed anything much recently. I did ask someone about this and they said that Intel CPU with AMD GPU causes major conflicts, is this true?

I got my GPU only a few months ago

I haven't been playing any extremely GPU intensive games recently, only Hearthstone and World of Warcraft, nor have I run benchmarks recently.

If you need any more info on my PC, just ask
 
Solution
Take the side panel off. And try powering it up again without the graphics card. If it was the culprit, I would switch to integrated graphics for the moment.
